    I know the type. 'I have rights here because it is MY country, you nasty foreigners are scroungers and layabouts' and so on.

        You're confusing racism with a justifiable concern that some foreigners* might be scroungers and layabouts.

        *to be precise some external cultures might have more of a propensity to be scroungers and layabouts.

          If you are too thick to understand, then I will spell it for you.

          You cannot insult me by stating that Danes are idiots.

            I think the answer to your question is what type of 'financial professional' would you quantify yourself as. Although to chide Mich, you're not arrogant. Just one sad deluded tw@t who is bitter and twisted that Alexi has managed to make far more of a success of himself than you have so you have to invent little plan Bs and the like (such as pretend motorbikes) to try and paint yourself something other than the sad deluded individual that you really are.

            I'm surprised you keep coming here to post anyway, I'm sure there is plenty of other people all queued up to tell you what a complete chump you are. Maybe it's the anonymity of the web that you crave, it lets you hide behind that persona you try and create whereas in real life people label you quite easily as a gimp without you even having to open arse and engage brain.

                Not really; I get tired of hearing that 'foreigners' are scroungers and layabouts. Some people are scroungers and layabouts, so inevitably some foreigners are too, but some people portray all foreigners as scroungers and their 'own people' or 'volk' (a word with which I am still not entirely comfortable after 17 years of speaking Dutch every day) as hard working and diligent citizens.

                  More than what?

                  Some external cultures more than other external cultures? or Some external cultures have more of a propensity than English/UK culture?

                  It seems you do not have a good grasp of the English language. I suggest you study it over the weekend.
